1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: For screenwriters, it's a dream to see an iconic actor

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: bring your words to life on film, and for writers

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: and directors it can be an even bigger moment on set.

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 2: Filmmaker Tim Brown had a chance to experience that working

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: with Nicholas Cage on their new action comedy Retirement Plan

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: about an aging assassin. But Tim tells a Hollywood reporter

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: his favorite moment with Nick actually came in a moment

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: when Nick opted to skip Tim's carefully crafted dialogue. Tim

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: says it came on the day where we were shooting

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: a pivotal scene when his daughter, played by Ashley Green, says,

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: are you some kind of assassin or something? I'd written

13
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: a big line for that moment, but Nick turned to

14
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: me and said, what if I didn't say anything and

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: just looked at her and cheapishly laughed. It was something

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: that only Nick can do, and to this day it's

17
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 2: the highlight of the film for me because it shows

18
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: how great he is at doing nothing except a little expression.

19
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: The Retirement Plan is out now

20
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: That's Direct from Hollywood.
